Could be that the DC-DC converter has died.

Not expensive to replace.....once you have located it and tested it.

Thanks Woody.

Bike is on it's way to Paris tomorrow, by plane, minus the batteries... I'm leaving on the 10th April.

I've entered my e-trike into a French design competition... time for public voting - which is done by going here (please) > http://pinterest.com/ebiketec/ebiketec-design-contest-public-voting/ ...and Liking the entry. They haven't made voting the easiest thing it seems, unfortunately. 4 people in my...

Nice one Mech. Would love to give it a ride when your done... may be able to help a little as you progress. Check out the Endless Sphere forums - a lot more information and members to offer advice and get you going on the right track. Things get pretty slow around here (...cue crickets chirping). Si...

Are you in Hobart Mechwarrior??

Off the road temporarily, but still making progress. I entered the Australian Innovation Challenge - Backyard category. Photo in the Australian Newspaper is of my entry. Winners to be announced, from small group of finalists, on Dec 11, with the winner taking home $10,000. More photos yesterday for ...

I'll be proud of my first speeding ticket... I'm trying.

have updated my facebook page with some images and such which are worth checking out... http://www.facebook.com/m3e.delivery.etrike Have been riding to and from work most days. A real buzz to say the least. Mornings have been frosty cold, but the ride home is much more comfortable. It's amazing the ...

Now have all engineering and stat. approvals for my trike.... it's got a number plate! This is a major milestone for me. The Australian Design Rules are not a walk in the park, and there is no category for Tilting Vehicles... and they defenitely have some work to do on the Electric Vehicle side of t...

Thanks Thalas. ...I think I got caught up in making it work, and the styling was very much dictated by that - in the end I had to launch into building this because I receieved a small 'arts' grant and there was a deadline to start and end the project. I wish it was pretty. The next one will be styli...

Hey forum nuts... I must state - to start with, that this is a 'proof of concept' - one off build. My aim is to be able to have a vehicle manufactured (a tough task indeed)... but it would not look like the proof of concept. Proffesional motorcycle design engineers and stylists will take the concept...

Hi all..

finally got around to putting together a short film of my Tilting Trike in action... hope you enjoy the next 2:30.

Got to ride the Zero and the Brammo on the same day whilst in the USA last year. Both were good, but if I was buying one on the day I would have bought the Brammo - was more comfortable and had better get up and go...

saying that, the Zero bike are still a hellova lotta fun.

...if your going to road register - traction wiring needs to be orange, so you'll need to wrap it in orange electrical tape (can be hard to get), or get some flexible orange split conduit (from Panduit)... with the only supplier in Australia being Anixter in Melbourne - but will be shipped from USA ...

Hey RJWS... you may have troubles road registering those vehicles... Check out the ADR rules here - http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/motor/standards/index.aspx The category yours fits in would be LEM1. http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/pdf/NCOP15A_LEM_Trike_Che...

yeah... but I have limited equipment for controlled individual/small pack cell charge/discharge. ...I will probably end up using new cells - just wanted to avoid my current issues of unbalanced pack and charging difficulties due to a new cell in the mix. I also have a dodgy cell which reaches high v...

...mixing old and new cells is a problem for the fact that the cells take a few cycles to be 'broken-in'.... The problem I have found is with the charging - the new cells reach a higher voltage more quickly than the rest - and the BMS will stop the charge, leaving the rest of the pack underdone.

If anyone has some used (100 - 200cycle) 40AH thunderskys I would be interested in buying up to 6 cells... 1 to replace a dodgy cell in my pack, 4 to bring the voltage up to 60V, and 1 as a spare.

Cheers..
Simon.

... a new range of EV associated t-shirts, hoodies, stickers etc. available here - http://www.redbubble.com/people/carvnmarvn/shop/t-shirts New designs added regularly.

...there is an enormous amount of unsprung weight - motor/diff/wheels etc... Would the shock absorbers really be that effective??

what about simplifying.... a simple hardtail frame, with good seat suspension??.... and move half of the battery pack forward if possible.

...g'day again.. You have obviously spent a fair bit of moolah on this already, and it would be a shame to see this project fall over because of a mis-direction in the design.. If your planning on making this street legal, you should contact the transport department and get the appropriate documenta...

...just checking my rolling tables for RHS (for your u-shaped member)... 25x25x3 - min inside radius 340mm (this is probably too small for application) 30x30x2.5 - min inside radius 450mm. probably best to do it out of CHS - 32mm bore tube will enable bends of 90mm or 140mm C/L radius. http://uneek....

... at a minimum then, make a full size PVC tube and timber frame as your 'mock-up' prior to fabricating any of the frame. You'll be able to correct any mistakes and make changes easily and cheaply. You will also end up with templates and cut-lengths for all components of your frame. Again, this sou...
